Wow... talk about a real let down.  CRS pretty much lied this entire week about releasing patch 1.20.

I love the game, but those guys are lacking in love.  :mad:

No offense, Scott, but there really is a more appropriate host/board for this stuff.

I think everyone cheerily endured your constant reminders that the "next big thing" had arrived.

A lot of guys here played there and continue to keep up with the status. Some just didn't count the chickens before they hatched.

How about keeping your disappointment a little closer to your vest now?

Of course, it's a free and open board here... just a suggestion.

I hope CRS picks up the pace or we may end up getting RAM back!

FScott, go away with this. Take it to someplace where they may care. Go to the WW2O Officers Club or soemthing as I'm not sure you'll find much sympathy here. Forget your spamming of WW2O here a month or so ago (you REALLY shold have listened to Vulcan and zipped you lip for 6 mos at least) but more so in light of your totally assinine behavior over there.

Well fscott, there are two ways to look at it. You can either feel robed that they didn't release it this week, or you can applaud them for not releasing a patch that still has some issue and could possibly break something else.

I look at it the second way.

I bought WW2OL just to get an idea of what crappy code optimization looks like, and to see the progress the rats make. I haven't played it in two weeks, and won't again until the patch comes out.

I'm still upbeat about the game overall, but am not holding my breath. I'll take it as it comes.

 :rolleyes:

 :D

 :p

To calm you down Ill tell ya that it does not matter what the other sims are like. If AH does not have a realistic HA with RPS and decent icon,ack, and visibility settings (apart of much many other issues), I wont be back.

Oh, I forgot...paying 10$/month only. never again teh 30$.

So skersk, you pretty much can say that RAM wont be back  :) sorry for the beer you have gambled this time in the FDB. Noone will win them  :D

About CRS ,I'd rather see the 1.2 delayed until 2 weeks than having to play with that connection issue they described. I dont care anyway. Having fun so far, it will get better with 1.2.

And now lets wait until one of those guys (especially one of them  ;)) we all know come here and say something idiotic  :)

Westy, get real man, this is off-topic forum, and many people here play W2OL.  No need to be a tard. You clicked on off-topic forum, then you clicked on this post, so you no lika, you no reada.  :D

The real letdown is not getting the PzrIIc and the Hurricane. These are the 2 things I was anticipating this weekend.

These guys really need to work on their PR and attitude towards the community.

This is absolutely true.  You just don't set dates for releasing games (and patches for the games.)  i've been keeping up with some other games that are in development (roleplaying games mostly) and the only time they mention dates is to say "the rumor that you heard us going Beta/Live on xx/xx/2001 is just a rumor.  We won't even suggest a date until we're ready to go."

Some people (not implying you, fscott) take EVERYTHING a dev team says literally.  One game (that has since been cancelled) used Flaming Kitten Juggling and Carrot Farming as "example" skills.  Some seriously thought that these were going to be actual skills (well, more so the carrot farming one...)  Point is, you have to be very careful as a game dev as to what information you release to your public.  Dates are pitfalls, unless you're 100% sure you're ready to release.

They informed us last week that testing would be done over the weekend (july 14-15) and that the patch WOULD be released sometime this week.  

They found something they didn't expect and now the patch won't be out until Monday at the earliest.  I agree with the decision to postpone the patch, however, they need to take a lesson from other dev teams.  Don't make promises you aren't 100% sure you can deliver on.  They didn't lie, they had to go back on a promise.  They had every intention of the patch coming out this week, yet after testing, they realized it'd cause more harm than good.  So they did the right thing and postponed the patch.
